DataGrid Error when typing F2 followed by ESC

[CA]

I am having a problem with a datagrid. Basically I have created a new
class derived from DataGridTextBoxColumn which only accepts numeric
values. When I enter a cell, type the F2 key followed by ESC, I get
the following error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException'
occurred in system.windows.forms.dll

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an
object.

I have posted the code below and have indicated where the error occurs
in the code, but I do not know DataGrid well enough to know why the
error occurs.

Thanks for taking the time to read this post. I would be grateful for
any help.

Thanks

Chris

Hi,

http://www.i-syn.gmxhome.de/devcom/colstyles/textbox.htm

has a textbox implementation that can handle F2 ESC.
